The Hatbox Ghost Is Back At Disneyland…and He’s AMAZING!
Back in April we told you guys that Disneyland would be bringing the infamous “Hatbox Ghost” back to the Haunted Mansion attraction in California.
The Hatbox Ghost, which was part of the original Haunted Mansion attraction back in 1969, was removed because of an alleged issues with his effect, which would see his head vanish and then appear inside a box.
With modern technology, the Imagineers at Disney were able to resurrect the 999th happy haunt this weekend in celebration of the the park’s 60th anniversary diamond celebration!

While Disney never clarified how the Hatbox Ghost would return, the below video shows that he’s been reintegrated back with his 998 supernatural buddies. It appears that you can catch him after the iconic ballroom scene, as you make your way around a corner into the graveyard set. The modern effect is stunning, and made me gasp. Now, if only Disneyland would integrate the brand new finale that’s already active at the Disney World location….
Read about the lore of the Hatbox Ghost. But for now, watch the magic!
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
